Painting Explorations: Cityscapes Intensive

For centuries, artists have found inspiration in the cityscape – its buildings, crowds, and more intimate spaces. In this workshop, students will create a series of paintings inspired by the urban landscape and notions of the "everyday". The AGO’s collections will frame discussions relating to the history, formal innovations, related conceptual and ideological positions of the cityscape, and its potential for both representational and abstract painterly approaches.

Materials for the first class are provided. Acrylic paints are required. Students will receive a list of required materials for the following classes.

This course meets in the Dr. Anne Tanenbaum Gallery School. Participants must be 18 or older. To get the most from this workshop, we suggest you take Introduction to Painting first.
